Additional Notes:

  • Despite being a Chinense pepper, the Aji Jobito lacks the fiery punch of its habanero cousins.

  • The plant is a prolific producer, offering an abundance of sweet peppers throughout the season.

  • The thick flesh makes it ideal for salads, salsas, or stuffing.

  • Be aware that occasional pods, especially from the first harvest, might have a touch of heat.

Enjoy the Aji Jobito's unique combination of sweetness and versatility, adding a touch of the tropics to your culinary creations!
